On the 30th of December 1830 he married Sarah Speer. She was the daughter of William and Rebecca (Boggs) Speer. In the custom of those days, the farms of both parents were very close together and one can assume that they became acquainted through church, school and local activities. Patterson and Sarah Proudfit had six sons and five daughters, of whom seven died in infancy or youth. There is no record of Patterson in Guernsey County, Ohio. However, family tradition had several Pattersons, Proudfits and Mackeys moving to Illinois in the mid-1800's and perhaps Patterson died there, although no probate record is found there either.

Note: Description:Utah was settled by Mormon pioneers in 1847, and it became the 45th state in 1896. This database contains a four-book series published in 1919. The first volume is a history of the state from before the Mormon settlers arrived through about 1920. The last three volumes contain biographical sketches of prominent people throughout the state. For those researching early Utah history, this will be a helpful database.

Robert L. Proudfit, a representative of mercantile interests in Ogden, was born in Edinboro, Pennsylvania, on the 18th of October, 1879, his parents being Andrew Jamieson and Wynette (Stone) Proudfit. The father, also a native of the Keystone state, devoted his life to merchandising and passed away in the year 1913. The death of the mother occurred thirty years ago.

Robert L. Proudfit came to Utah with his father when twelve years of age, or about twenty-eight years ago, the family home being established in Ogden, where he attended the public schools. He left school, however, at an early age and went upon the road as a traveling salesman for eastern houses. He represented the Iver Johnson Cycle Company of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, in nearly all the western states for a period of sixteen years and was very successful in developing the business of the firm with which he was connected. Eventually he established his present business in connection with his father, who acted as manager, while Mr. Proudfit went upon the road as a traveling salesman. They opened their store in the Opera House, where they dealt in bicycles through 1897 and 1898. In 1902 they removed to their present location and added a line of sporting goods. For seventeen years they have also dealt in the Edison Victrola and have been distributors for that instrument for thirteen years, being closely associated with the Thomas A. Edison Company and its interests during all this time. In 1906 they established a wholesale business and they figure today most prominently in the mercantile circles of Ogden, where they have built up a trade of very gratifying proportions, while their wholesale business covers a wide territory. They handle the goods of the leading manufacturers of the country in their line and their progressive business methods and earnest desire to please their patrons have been salient features in the attainment of their success.

On the 29th of April, 1902, Mr. Proudfit was married to Miss Jeannette Robbins, of Ogden, a daughter of Edmund Robbins, and they have become the parents of four children: Doris, fifteen years of age; Phyllis, twelve; Annette, seven; and Robert, Jr. The eldest three are in school.

Mr. Proudfit is a member of the Weber Club, with which he has been identified for nineteen years, joining the club on its organization. He is an expert billiard player and largely turns to the game for recreation. He won the cup at the Weber Club for his skill in billiards. He also greatly enjoys fishing. He never allows these things, however, to interfere with the conduct of his business and as the years have passed he has gradually advanced to a foremost position in mercantile circles of Ogden, being now at the head of an extensive wholesale and retail sporting goods and bicycle house. His life illustrates what can be accomplished through close application, indefatigable energy and keen business sagacity, for these are the qualities which have been dominant forces in the attainment of his present success.
